A restored Vacumatic purchased at Fred Krinke's shop a few weeks back. A common enough specimen, but there's nothing truly common about a Vacumatic!

No, it arrived okay. I just lost contact with the recipient. Been unable to contact them ever since. Pity really as that pen was my all time favourite. Now gone.

*Sputter* Agh! How could they…? Having developed similar feelings toward mine in the short time we've been together, I can only imagine your frustration. I've been forewarned; I'll never let it out of my sight.

 

 

 

SUPERB!!!

Thanks! I have to confess that its shininess did call out to me. And then I wrote with it and swooned.

00Photo, OMG those BHR Waterman pens are so beautiful, with their carved gold rings. I am most attracted to the clips one with its patina on the nib! Wow wow! :thumbup: It's a wonderful collection.

 

Edited: I meant the *clipless* one. Ah, this spelling prediction thing is very annoying. Try it, type "clipless" and the machine changes it to "clips"! :wallbash:

Skysora, that's a bummer about he blob situation. But your Doric is too pretty not to use just because of some blobbage ;) , so you need to top up the pen more with ink. The vacuum fillers are so fun to operate anyway!

 

This below is the inside of my 10-year diary that I made, including the printing inside. I found out that my printer (some old Brother multifunction) can handle very thin Tomoe River paper if I set the paper type to handle transparencies so that's what I did. The 10 year diary only holds a few lines a day so I summarise what happened each day, and write that down. Next year I will be writing in the section immediately below it, and so on and so forth for 10 years. By the time the whole book is filled, it will be a great record of snippets of 10 years of our life while we have our kids with us at home. The other journal I write is just my mental dumping ground, so I write many pages a day, and for that one I printed out 7.5mm ruled lines (faintest line possible because TR paper shows through so much I didn't want the lines to be too dominant) and fold the A4 paper into a signature of 6-8 sheets then sew them up together and make A5 size notebooks.

These are my grey coloured twins. They both write with juicy line immediately when I put the nib to paper, even after weeks of neglect. They are nicknamed Goldie and Sterlo. I know, tacky names. :lol:

The pens are lovely but I really dig your handwriting! Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, those are nice! Especially the group shot. Like the desaturation effect.

I am no longer very active on FPN but feel free to message me. Or send me a postal letter!

Thank you so much! I am really happy that you like them! :happy:

 

Contribution of the day for those of you who haven't yet discovered the "Stub o' the day" thread.

Enjoy your day everyone.

 

The pen is an M800 with a Sorowka medium stub, and the ink is the ever so beautiful Kon Peki.
